It's been a really stressful and busy couple of months for me. Earlier this week, Milo had surgery to implant a VNS - a Vagus Nerve Stimulator to help with seizure control. It's been three days since the surgery and besides feeling tender in that area, he seems to be doing well. Milo had a great surgeon who made us feel very confident about giving the VNS a try. He has tried so many seizure medications and he just gets worse and worse, we had to do something.

Between April and May, we have also bought a new house and sold our current house. We'll be moving in early June. I am still pregnant, due date is May 30th but I went to the OB this week who says I'm already 1 cm dilated and the baby's head has dropped quite low. She seemed to feel like next week might be the week...I am pretty uncomfortable and huge at this point. I never made it this far with Milo, so I never knew the XL feeling or the inability to sleep. Normally I am a great sleeper so this is a little traumatic for me. I somehow didn't fit in a childbirth class, so the whole VBAC will be interesting. I think I'd better at least buy a book and read up....



From a peaceful weekend in Sonoma, late April. Probably my last vacation for awhile.
